Leif: Essential Goods for Beautiful, Modern Living

Owner Stacy Longenecker believes that any small object, like the guinea pig salt & pepper shakers pictured above, can create a special moment in the home. Check out more from this kitchen and home goods store after the jump.

Leif warms my heart with their products that are made from mostly recycled materials. Some standouts include a series of bottle vases made from Holland street finds and an offering of cards for special occasions. This shop is currently running a great sale, so head over to www.leifshop.com to start your Christmas shopping early or simply pick up a small present for your own home.
